I bought this H2 Hummer new in Feb. 2003, and have driven it continuously to date. The vehicle has been maintained by the dealership in Tucson, AZ, until last Dec., at which time I moved to Wichita, Kansas, which is where the vehicle is now. I "religiously" maintained the vehicle (you see, it's not a car, but I can't call it a "truck," either, at least in my own mind, so I'll continue to call it a "vehicle") at the Royal Automotive dealership in Tucson, having the oil changed every 3,000 miles, and, as recommended, everything changed every 30,000 miles. During its lifetime, the following has been done:

  at 118,000 miles, new AC compressor
new two-stage air compressor in 2006 (as I recall, when the original one started cycling continuously due probably to an internal short; the original air compressor was a one-stage
device; they went to a two-stage type compressor in 2005)
at 171,000 miles, completely rebuilt transmission
  radiator replaced in 2008
  both front hubs have been replaced
  both air-shocks have been replaced

  extras: Warn winch and Hummer luggage carrier; also truck shields (never used, still on original roll to be cut out so they will fit various places on the outside of the vehicle to prevent scratches while traveling off-road--which I have never done, by the way!)

Although the vehicle is "high mileage," practically all the miles are highway miles, and it is in very good shape.

What is "wrong" with it: two guages don't work (oil pressure and battery charging; the two least important ones, in my opinion, and the entire instrument panel has to be replaced at one fell swoop, so I've never done that; all the other guages have worked fine for the lifetime of the vehicle); the passenger side rear door window has to have the regulator replaced (this enrages me, because both rear-door window regulators are obviously of the "planned obsolescence" variety, and both have already been replaced, once, now I have to replace the passenger side one again; the front windows, which do get put up and down frequently, have never failed, so, to me, anyway, this is obviously just another MBA-corporate-asshole-planned made-to-fail-to-get-the-customer-to-bring-the-vehicle-back-into-the-dealership thingys, which frankly, I've had more than enough of in my 63 years on this planet--how about you?), which I will probably do myself before the vehicle is sold; the final thing is that only part of the six-way seat switch functions (movement front to back is okay, and so is putting the back of the seat at different angles, as is the "lumbar thingy" for the small of your back, but the seat will not move up and down vertically at present--I may fix this, too, before selling the vehicle). 
All in all, this is a solid, driving vehicle that I don't think anything major will go wrong on again, as I've fixed pretty much everything that could go wrong over the years; the tires are good (two are practically new, purchased in 2012), the AC blows cold, the CD with 9-speaker Bose system is the best stereo I've ever owned, etc.
Call me for more particulars.

Humvee maker AM General reportedly for sale, with interest from FCA, GM

Wed, Oct 3 2018

WASHINGTON — AM General has put itself up for sale and has hired investment bank Macquarie Group Ltd to seek potential bidders in a deal that could value the builder of Humvee military vehicles at more than $2 billion, people familiar with the matter said this week. Potential bidders include competitors in the military ground vehicle market, such as General Dynamics, Oshkosh Corp and BAE Systems, according to two people familiar with the matter. Automakers like Fiat Chrysler and General Motors may also be potential buyers. GM licensed Hummer from AM General in 1998 to build civilian SUVs. None of the companies would comment or reply to a request for comment. The South Bend, Indiana-based AM General is currently owned by private equity firms. A possible sale of AM General follows a rash of deals over the past 18 months among defense contractors. But relatively fewer makers of defense equipment have gone on the auction block. Last year, United Technologies acquired Rockwell Collins for $30 billion, and in March, TransDigm Group continued its acquisition spree with a $525 million deal for Extant Components Group. AM General could fetch about 10 times its annual earnings of $160 million, one of the people said. The company's favorable tax treatment because of its current status as an limited liability corporation, would allow a buyer to reduce the company's taxable earnings for 15 years. That coupled with recent contract awards could push the ultimate value of the company to over $2 billion in a sale. The sale, should it happen, comes as the U.S. Army is gearing up for a broad effort to modernize its forces, including seeking prototypes of its Next-Generation Combat Vehicle in fiscal year 2022. Last month, AM General was awarded an Army contract for as many as 2,800 new M997A3 High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle (HMMWV) ambulances. The contract could be worth as much as $800 million if all options were exercised, AM General said at the time. Last year, the Pentagon awarded AM General a $550 million contract to deliver HMMWVs for use as protected weapons carriers, cargo transporters and ambulances to Afghanistan, Iraq, Ukraine, Jordan, Slovenia, Bahrain, Columbia, Bosnia and Kenya as a part of a larger Foreign Military Sales agreement. The sale of AM General offers an opportunity to purchase a prime contractor that delivers a finished product to the Pentagon, and not just an add-on system or service.

Are orphan cars better deals?

Wed, Dec 30 2015

Most folks don't know a Saturn Aura from an Oldsmobile Aurora. Those of you who are immersed in the labyrinth of automobilia know that both cars were testaments to the mediocrity that was pre-bankruptcy General Motors, and that both brands are now long gone. But everybody else? Not so much. By the same token, there are some excellent cars and trucks that don't raise an eyebrow simply because they were sold under brands that are no longer being marketed. Orphan brands no longer get any marketing love, and because of that they can be alarmingly cheap. Case in point, take a look at how a 2010 Saturn Outlook compares with its siblings, the GMC Acadia and Buick Enclave. According to the Manheim Market Report, the Saturn will sell at a wholesale auto auction for around $3,500 less than the comparably equipped Buick or GMC. Part of the reason for this price gap is that most large independent dealerships, such as Carmax, make it a point to avoid buying cars with orphaned badges. Right now if you go to Carmax's site, you'll find that there are more models from Toyota's Scion sub-brand than Mercury, Saab, Pontiac, Hummer, and Saturn combined. This despite the fact that these brands collectively sold in the millions over the last ten years while Scion has rarely been able to realize a six-figure annual sales figure for most of its history. That is the brutal truth of today's car market. When the chips are down, used-car shoppers are nearly as conservative as their new-car-buying counterparts. Unfamiliarity breeds contempt. Contempt leads to fear. Fear leads to anger, and pretty soon you wind up with an older, beat-up Mazda MX-5 in your driveway instead of looking up a newer Pontiac Solstice or Saturn Sky. There are tons of other reasons why orphan cars have trouble selling in today's market. Worries about the cost of repair and the availability of parts hang over the industry's lost toys like a cloud of dust over Pigpen. Yet any common diagnostic repair database, such as Alldata, will have a complete framework for your car's repair and maintenance, and everyone from junkyards to auto parts stores to eBay and Amazon stock tens of thousands of parts. This makes some orphan cars mindblowingly awesome deals if you're willing to shop in the bargain bins of the used-car market. Consider a Suzuki Kizashi with a manual transmission. No, really.
